The Crisis of the World.
By Editor
THE following weighty paragraph we find in The Christian Press, a paper published by the American Reform Trust and Book Society, Cincinnati, Ohio. What particular events the writer is expecting, we know not; but we were struck with the language, so in harmony is it with the scenes which the word of God predicts soon to transpire on our earth. "Brethren, the crisis of the world is come. Are we prepared for it? Can we resign all the interests of an earthly life, and identify ourselves with the will of God and spiritual excellence? Can we stand in the whirlwind, talk with the thunder, and look29calmly on Heaven, when God looks forth in indignation on a guilty world? Are we prepared with serene joy and holy confidence to unite in the song of Moses and the Lamb, when the plagues of heaven shall fall on the wicked, and the earth shall be filled with wailing and blasphemy? Are we prepared to sympathize with man, wretched in his hopelessness, and in his extremity, and to go forth for his salvation, unmoved by the convulsions of the world, and the terrible manifestations of infinite wrath?"
